What “Reason” means
To reason means to talk with someone, usually a relaxed but thoughtful conversation about life, ideas or plans. It is less about arguing and more about sharing views. A long conversation of this kind is a "reasoning".
Examples
Mek wi reason later
Let's talk later
How to use it
Used between friends and acquaintances to suggest a proper talk, not just small talk. It has a calm, respectful tone.
Cultural context
In Rastafari, a reasoning is a gathering for discussion of spiritual, social and political matters. That usage helped spread the word's "deep conversation" sense into everyday Patois.
